    I like it - except for the paint and the wheels. But those are things the customer could change if they wanted to, right?

    Switch back would be a good short trip touring bike but sorry wouldn't want it for the long haul. I do like it especially with the 103 motor. As for the CVO I agree two much money for a small bike. But buy a stock bike and add all the stuff they did to it and bet you would pay more.
    I like the paint though.

    I think its a little to pricey but a pretty sweet looking bike. A softail on steroids?

    I'm concerned about the 110' motor but no stock oil cooler and I think the oil bag is only 3 qts. Being air cooled wouldn't that be a possible issue?

    I was at a dealer yesterday and saw the new bikes with the metalflake paint. I felt like I was in a flashback to the early 60's. The motor company did a marvelous job on the paint BUT, I hope it doesn't make a comeback. It went out with the dinosaurs. JMO

    Maybe,maybe not. Trends seem to be cyclical..coming and going. I bet the MOCO was banking on it was time to re-introduce a trend back from the late 60's early 70's?

    Sure would rather have one of them there metal flake bikes over this:

    Which was a choice in 2012.Imagine looking at that all day every day...whewww:eek:

    I like stripped down softails, so yes, I like. But I prefer the Blackline. Not that I can afford either right now.
